    Can be, depends on the arrangement between the owner and Gordon Murray Automotive

    Of course, why not? Write a check big enough and it's yours. Just look at the McLaren Sabre. 15 people with too much money, had McLaren MSO take a $1.3 million dollar Senna and
    completely re-body it into the $3 million dollar Sabre. For BILLIONAIRES, there's few 'material' problems that money can't solve. ;)

    The history of the McLaren Sabre is more complex than that (I know one of the owners).

    But I understand your point of view.

    Sounds amazing, that combined with the ram air intake above your head is going to be very special. Can’t wait to have a go.

    Every spring when I do the first drive in the elise, it reminds me that everything else feels like a waste of time. Small relatvely light, na twin can 4 cyl, stiff great suspension and direct, everything working as it should.

    yes and save $3m ... the pure driving experience is available at far less than a T50 with the clown fan on the back

    True.
    But the T50 takes the whole concept as far as it can go.
    Pity GM does not put his genius to somehting more atainable in the 200-300k range.
    Somthing light, mid engined with an off the rack Gt3 motor.

    I believe he’s stated that’s his next project; basically a more attainable T50 (lower price point and more volume).

    And its going to weight 3800lbs which would be 1000lbs too heavy. Might be an inetersting car for what it is, but somthing completely different to a GM light car with purity of purpose.

    the Alfa 4c showed what could be done in a small car with a CF tu, even if the suspnsion and steering miss the mark. GM says he loved twin cam 4cyl motors NA and a stick.

    The alpine a110 etxists albeit in a turbo paddle, Gm drives one to work.
    I imagine its goign to be lighter smaller NA and faster than the alpine.
    Hard part is finding a Na mtoor.
